Callyope is a Belgian & French artist, she works with music to create paradoxical feelings with hybrid sounds, to tell stories with progressions inspired by life's changing emotions.

Her work could be represented as tree-like structure in which several threads of opposing thoughts coexist, all linked to each other.

Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

In the first hour, Gravity Waves: as preparation for her new album, some long overdue tracks from I Am Fya, some tracks from the new Xylitol & Alien Alarms albums, a couple of remixes from Nil by Noses new trains based album, and some pieces by friends of the Spirit of Gravity.

In the second hour, Spectral Transmissions: Midnight in the Haunted Karaoke. It is nighttime in the city. Tatty terraces and scattered concrete tower blocks, the detritus of a vast up-turned wheelie bin bathed in orange twilight. Around this time of year strange things happen. The ether is populated with unruly beasts.

Pipes can be heard tapping in the darkness, lightbulbs flicker, music plays on an unplugged jukebox and faint calls of distant laughter can be heard echoing in the subway. An empty karaoke booth crackles into life and the soft crooning lament drifts through the still corridors, someone has entered the building.

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Iceland ... every three hours for 24 hours ... eight times ... daag einn I juni ... I stand and look east across the fell to the obelisk. Beyond it the northern shoulder of Burfell rises then slips away off its hog’s back summit. Stand and listen to the plaintive pipe of the Golden Plover and the croak of the Snipe.

Stand … then move off ... down the slope; through the Marsh Marigolds; over the stream; cross two fences; cross the horse paddock to the leaning post; along the horse path; around to the fence to the left; over the fence; cross four streams; pass the waterfall; cross the marsh; cross the stream on stones; up the slope to gap in ridge; up the slope to the lip; around the obilisk; pause; retrace my steps ... eight walks ... eight sections ... split ... re-built ... into a day at random ... eight movements ... This is movement 6.

This episode is a contribution by Radio WORM.

This new radio piece, recorded in the WORM studio over February and March 2024 by Palestinian sound artist Dirar Kalash, is made entirely out of sounds collected from Palestine, and is composed using field recordings of protests, nature, markets, city streets, all from different locations across Palestine.

These sounds were then heavily processed and composed, as an analogical approach to the political realities of Palestine, and the spatial and temporal transformation of both the land and the people – their movements, their lives, and their deaths.

Dirar Kalash (b. 1982) is a musician and sound artist whose work spans a wide range of musical and sonic practices within a variety of instrumental, compositional and improvisational contexts. Kalash also extends his practice into inter-disciplinary theoretical research. He has produced several solo and collaborative music albums and is active as an improvising musician.

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

Renowned Australian soundtrack theorist Philip Brophy presents 90 minutes of loud and luscious soundtrack dynamite!

In all cases, great tracks that speak for themselves!

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and mind-blowing covers and drifts of “Complicated”. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Featuring special guest Bella Paloma.

Pizza lovers, skateboarders, broken hearts, liver cooks, complicated people, hyperpop fans… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).
